Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Stanford defines "local" to be within 150 miles of campus, and therefore does not separately tabulate a data subset within 100 miles of campus. Please note that Stanford committed to 100% cage-free eggs during the 2010 - 2011 academic year, but could not find a local source for that product.
